From Address to Build Decision
Five steps from lot check to feasibility report, findings call, and build decision.
Enter Your Address
We start with the real property and collect the basics needed for a first-pass lot check.
The first check is directional, not a zoning determination. Setbacks, utilities, drainage, HOA rules, and permitting still require team review.
Run Lot Check
We review lot size, access, likely setbacks, utility constraints, and whether the property is worth deeper feasibility work.
Internal size bands help us estimate, but the homeowner sees what the lot can likely support, not a public plan catalog.
Order Feasibility Report
If the lot looks promising, the $297 launch feasibility report gives you a human-reviewed next-step breakdown.
The report should identify likely constraints, size range, income assumptions, open questions, and whether a proposal, referral, or stop signal is the right next move.
Findings Call
We walk through the report, answer the hard questions, and decide whether to move into proposal and contract.
No build promise should be made until the lot-specific feasibility questions have been answered.
Proposal or Stop
If the path is strong, we move toward scope, proposal, and contract. If the lot is not clean, we say that before you waste build money.
A good ADU process protects the homeowner from false certainty as much as it sells the opportunity.
Common Questions
Why start with a lot check?
Because the lot controls the ADU. Access, setbacks, utilities, drainage, parking, and local rules can change what is realistic.
What does the $297 report do?
It turns the free lot check into a reviewed feasibility path with likely constraints, size range, income assumptions, and recommended next step.
What if my lot doesn't qualify?
We do a preliminary lot check before you sign anything. If your lot doesn't qualify under current zoning, we'll tell you upfront — no hard sell.
Who handles permits?
If the project moves forward, ADU Nation coordinates the permit path through the build process. The first report is not a permit approval.
What happens after you build it?
You own a permitted, code-compliant ADU. You can rent it yourself, use our $100/month PM service, or use it for family. Entirely your choice.
What if the report says I should not build?
That is still a valuable answer. The report is designed to help you avoid wasting far more money on plans, surveys, engineering, or a bad project path.
